Bookends Macro

[shurkin]

I can't get the Macro for Bookends to work. I click, nothing happens. The macros are in the right file in Library. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Any help?

Are you using Express version 2.6? There were some macro problems in prior versions. Also, have you tried the macro when Bookends is running?

I am indeed using 2.6 and have tried it with Bookends (also the latest version) open.

You might open the macros in Script Editor. My macros look like:

tell application "Nisus Writer Express"
Do Menu Macro with macro "Edit:Select All"
Do Menu Macro with macro "Edit:Copy:Copy"
end tell

tell application "Bookends X 7.7.4"
activate
ScanNWE
end tell

But I'm using Bookends 9, so the second "tell" fails. I can't remember where I downloaded them - it must have been some time ago. I imagine that changing the name of the application would fix it, but haven't tried, I'm afraid.

I am using NWE 2.6.1 and I had to modify this script to work with the French version of NWE.

However, I still get error messages after Bookends has done its text manipulations. The first error tells that the command "File"New" is unknown. After this, it's "Edit:Paste:Paste". I would easily localize the appropriate script but I don't know which one to change!

Any help?

Thanks,
